Of course they do.  They are the most pro-British TV service bar none.

My  mum would give a teaspoonful  of both to us three girls every morning..
She used the same spoon..  :grin: 
If I remember rightly we also had Malt at one time.. It was lovely..

I think the malt was called Virol? I had that, and cod liver oil.  Milk of Magnesia in a blue bottle for upset tums.
Its not how old you are, but how you are old. 💖

I remember back in the good old days when we had magazines in the GP surgeries  ( that's a place where Doctors used to work)
I used to think, 'where do they get their bloody magazines from?'  I mean the March 1987  magazine called Dredging Today produced by the Canals and River Trust ? For £69 a year, a bloody steal I thought.
Having said that it was far superior to Concrete Magazine which in it's own words "Our vibrant magazine is full of industry news, features and comments from an international perspective" was really boring.
I regret now that I never slipped one of my glossy 'art' photo magazines into the pile, I mean, ' The 10 Best Kama Sutra Position for those with Arthritis, was sort of medical.

I can remember my dear old Grandad giving us  Malt on a spoon.
We used to like that.  

Do they still make it, I wonder?

That's terribly kind of you.  How are you getting on with the Advanced Sheep Grooming mag I lent you?

Did you keep the free wide leg wellies?
